Recently a group of finnish experts painted a dark picture of the Finnish housing market and a looming crash in prices. Now statistician Pekka Vuori is debunks the claim of 30 000 vacant apartments in the Greater Helsinki Metropolitan Area are false, and that the risk of a crash in prime locations is minimal.

In addition to statistician Vuori, the Helsinki Times also interviewed Heikki Loikkanen. Loikkanen, a professor emeritus of urban geography at the University of Helsinki states:
